Do you ever feel like its the movie Groundhog's Day? I know we all have repetition in our lives. Daily we get up, brush our teeth, shower, etc. etc. As a Mom the constantcy of repetitiousness could cause a little insanity at times.
I think I have scrubbed my kitchen floor about 4 times in the last 3 days. The number of times juice, food, or other substances getting spilled on our tile floor is too many to count on certain days. I am thankful for the ability to clean it up and to make our home as organized as possible. Sometimes, there just isn't enough time in the day. I used to get so overwhelmed by all the work that I would just curl up in a fetal position and take a nap to forget all the messes and exhaustive cleaning that needed to be done around the house. Now, I try to chip away at it each day. The part that gets me everytime is that you take the initiative to clean it, get it exactly the way you want it only to do it all over again a few days later. There is a line in the Disney movie The Incredibles that always comes to mind when I contemplate this very truth. Mr. Incredible says, "I just want the world to just stay saved. I save the day and then I turn around and it needs saving again! I start to think, "I just saved it, it needs it again?" Ok, that isn't verbatim for those of you movie buffs but its paraphrased to meet my point. I think if I ever were to wish for anything I would ask God to help my house stay clean after I clean it. I would put in the hard work and then just bask in all its glory forever and ever! :)
I think all in all its just the way of the world to clean something, have to use it/it gets dirty, you clean it up again.
Severe repetition. Its the life of any Mom. For this stay-at-home Mom sometimes its just the name of my game. Hopefully, someday I'll get really good at it. :)
Dear Lord, please give me the strength, wisdom, and perseverence I need to keep the home that you gave to me and my family as well kept as possible. For all the laundry, vacumning, dusting, washing, scrubbing, disinfecting, sweeping, carpet cleaning, and everything else required please help me to do it and do it with the best of my ability as often as I can.
Amen.
Everyone have a wonderful week!
